I also got caught up in advertising about a year ago. From the beginning of use, it was not possible to connect the peephole to the smartphone online. Even if it happened to connect, it didn't last longer. I don't know what pattern uploaded videos are displayed on. Once they are about 10 seconds long, sometimes only 2 seconds and not all of them are recorded. There was no way to set it. Loading videos is terrifying. It takes an infinite long time. The application you mention in the article does not exist in the play store. After a year of use, the device is rated as unreliable, slow and definitely does not meet the conditions you state in the article. Maybe in China. If you don't want to be disappointed like me, I definitely advise you not to get caught up in advertising and buy something else.

Hello, the Mi Home by Vevs application is modified and of course it is not available in the Play Store, as it is not an official app. It can be downloaded here https://www.miuios.cz/region-free-mi-home-29089. If you still have the product, try this app, it should work better with it.

Thank you for your comment, that's exactly what I needed to know. Practical experience, not marketing reports, which are always so bombastic and sidealized. I tied the pile, as I also have a lot of other things from Xiaomi. But I once burned myself with a deFang camera, which is unusable today, it goes, but only for the first 24 hours, then it doesn't connect to it anymore. However, the camera, which is a 5Ghz among the latest models, is still very reliable. For this product, I'm also afraid of the 2.4Ghz Wifi and also the connection to the CN server. Some apps would Vevs as nice, but I don't need family members every week to maintain their mobile phones to get a newer apk in which it can be packaged anything extra.
This is what Xiaomi limits, I don't understand why this policy is applied in the application. I understand a product where there are no manuals or UIs made other than Eng or CN, but that they limit the appke? I'm guessing it's because they've agreed with Blitzwolf and others that I won't distribute the products here. Some things are only for some and again you have 5 different apps for smart things in your mobile and another 5 Gateway for ZigBee. Sad fact.
It is possible to connect other smart networks in Mi Home, but that ends with the fact that you can see them, but you cannot control and combine them. What's the point of such a functionality, I guess we can just write it in the marketing material "We connect all the devices into one app", the reality is completely unusable.

Teisingai parašei Milošai. The real difference is that of Xiaomi. Turiu 3 hūbus Xiaomi ir vistiek viskam nezutenka. Visa hardware works 2,4GHz, tinklas užkrautas siaubingai. Jie turi pilnus silatus senų partių ir nori jas sunaudoti. Jei dar gamina įrengiunius su mini USB. Pasaulis senai perėjo ant C jungčių.

I bought it, also after considering it for about 2 years. Mainly because the child can see who is behind the door without having to open the door (more convenient than a peephole). I have it on for a week, so far everything is OK. It is possible that in those 2 years they have finally adjusted it, just like other things I have from Xiaomi, that they don't always work quickly and reliably when new, but only after X updates. Other brands like Xiaomi are in a much more tragic situation, one can only dream about updates there...

That coupon doesn't work, since it was only one-time apparently"This coupon code is for single use only and cannot be used here"

Hello, sorry, we had the wrong coupon, this one works: BFPLANET10

David

Good Morning.
El coupon BFPLANET10 tampoco es valido, ya que es de un solo uso.
A greeting.

Non-functional out of order, waste of money

It works through the Chinese region in Mi Home

If the device has a good Wi-Fi signal, it works. The problem occurs if it goes out, then after about 3 days the device seems to reset, lose its settings, for example the led diode from the outside of the doorbell lights up suddenly, so I always noticed it. After that, there is only a QR code with pairing on the screen and you can set everything again.
If you want to use people recognition, it is an extra monthly paid service :/
Battery life for 60 sec recording with 10-12 events per day is realistically max. 2 weeks, which is very little, and the screen will only turn on once a day... 6 months it will only last in the basement where no one goes and without recording.
It is possible to connect externally via USBc, the power supply is from the side, the device is also charged through it, an external camera is connected via the second USBc from below.
If it does not detect movement in front of the door, it will not provide a live view through the app.
Recorded to the cloud 3 days ago interval, then overwritten to the local SD.
If you view the image, the camera clicks quite audibly outside, which is unpleasant, and it also clicks when it starts recording that someone is moving in front of the door... it could have been solved better. At night, the ice sheets are not very visible, which is ok.
